About This Item
Dutton, 1982. Soft cover. Near Fine. Softcover, sixth printing. Association copy, Inscribed to former Poet Laureate Donald Hall on the front end free paper: For Donald Hall, from Ed Abbey, with much admiration, Oracle, Arizona 1987. It may seem unlikely, but Abbey did have much admiration for Hall, writing for instance, in a blurb, that Hall s memoir Seasons at Eagle Pond about his New Hampshire farm is A beautiful piece of workmanship Donald Hall s essays match the cool grave quiet splendor of the New England scene that he has made his home. A near fine copy with the faintest hint of wear or lift to the lamination at the edges of the wraps. Pages are bright and clean, but there are some notations in blue to the table of contents in either Abbey or Hall s hand (if you have any idea what AWR stands for, please email us). A great association between two standout writers of the natural world, cross continent and biome, from the AZ desert to the NH hardwoods.

About Rural Hours
Rural Hours (formerly Wood + River = Books, est. 2019) specializes in ecology, natural history, nature writing, the environment, environmental literature, and contemporary essay, with a special passion for association copies and notable inscriptions. We draw our name from the popular-but-then-forgotten book by Susan Fenimore Cooper (published in 1850), generally considered the first work of environmental creative nonfiction by a woman in the U.S. We are interested in challenging and expanding the canon of environmental literature and finding books that tell remarkable stories and illuminate the tradition of writing about place and natural history.
